“Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force. Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions will die for Him."

Imagine hyperventilating about the greatest driver of human flourishment in the past 200 years because you think it will change the weather.

Antisemitism appears to be a canary in the coal mine for society. Why has this pattern emerged? Why isn’t it some other prejudice? History repeats this pattern, and I haven’t been able to figure out why.

The things I envy the most about old European cities are their sheer beauty in architecture and walkable designs. They were made with the human soul in mind, not mindless efficiency and profits.

Then why are you safely posting on X instead of fighting on the front lines in Ukraine? Do you not believe it's the most important event in the world?
@creation247
Disagree. Marriage is a covenant between a man and woman in the sight of God and community. This can happen wherever two or more gather in the name of Christ Jesus.
On a fiat standard:
Money makes you poor
School makes you dumb
Medicine makes you sick
Science makes you dogmatic
Food makes you malnourished

I have almost a decade of professional experience in macro and business analysis, product management, business development, and more.
I have a Business Analysis degree and I’m currently earning my Master’s of Finance. Any suggestions?
Imagine hyperventilating about a potential 1 degree increase in temperature in 200 years while ignoring the systematic erosion of purchasing power every year.
All the big-brains that make it to your fiat TV and university have two things in common:
They are hysterically worried about atmospheric CO2 concentrations rising from 0.028% to 0.042% over 200 years
They are not worried about the money supply rising 20% in a year

Interesting story actually! Originally it was Joosten (oo - sten) and it was Americanized to Huston (sounds like Houston) when my my family came over. 🍻

Have there been studies showing inflation-adjusted prices of suits from previous generations? Would be fascinating to compare and contrast!

Good conversation except for when you bring up

. Your arguments are woefully shallow and not based in reality. I urge you to read or listen to the terabytes of available, free information that addresses your concerns.

Would love to witness an RFK / Vivek long-form discussion. The American public are starving for respectful, insightful, and brilliant dialogue that focuses on policy and ideas between presidential candidates.

Part of growing up and maturing is realizing you should spend your money on the things that bring you satisfaction, even if it doesn't bring other people satisfaction.

Here’s how I briefly conceptualize the thesis:
PoW = Power = Watts = Objective Reality
PoS = Rank = Play Pretend = abstract reality
Abstract reality can be violated via objective reality, but not the other way around.

Churchill said that "the buildings we make in turn make us"
When our architecture is soulless, it reflects and creates a nihilistic culture.
@unusual_whales
Reminder that hack Keynesian economists like Krugman are fiat apologists that will blame the weather, Taylor Swift concerts, Russia, and anything else before admitting that expanding the money supply is the real cause of inflation

Unfortunately, yes. Dark navy suit, power red tie, white dress shirt. I think it's part of the conservative temperament to adopt previously successful strategies.

Over $23 trillion (in today’s money) has been spent on the War on Poverty since 1965. Poverty levels are no lower now than they were then.
Perhaps HOW capital is employed is more important than HOW MUCH capital is employed.

Legal ≠ moral
Slavery was legal, the Holocaust was legal, human sacrifice was legal.
No free lunch. You borrow money, you pay back the loan.

Easier said than done - what's the alternative? Abandoning one fiat currency (USD) for another (CNY) does not solve any problems.
Those who use another nation's currency is beholden to the whims of that nation.
